Manufacturer reference
Model specifications
Read metric manufacturer figures alongside approximate imperial conversions. Published ratings do not establish performance under every site or payload condition.
Rating and load qualifications
- Manufacturer reference values; metric units are authoritative and imperial conversions are approximate. Installed payload, power demand and test conditions require project confirmation.
- The overview says Force 4; the detailed table separately states operational Sea State 3 and survival Sea State 4. These labels are not treated as equivalent or automatically converted to Beaufort.
- Light displacement and lightship weight are 1,300 kg; full-load displacement is 1,600 kg. The listed 300 kg payload is a separate load field, not vehicle weight.
- Private-network 15 nmi and nominal ground-to-air 30 km are different communication statements. Optional satellite links are not an unconditional unlimited-range guarantee.

Task and integration scope
Applications and configuration
The Seeker brochure describes a marine hub coordinating control, interfaces and energy scheduling. This component view illustrates the integration subject, not verified third-party compatibility. Open the application and configuration records below for mission scope; confirm exact hardware, power, data and software requirements in the quotation.
Application scope
Channel and hydrographic survey
The manufacturer describes mapping missions using the moon pools and mounting rails. Define sonar geometry, positioning, data quality and installation requirements before selecting instruments.
Water-quality monitoring and research
For documented water-quality and scientific-observation tasks, confirm measurements, instrument power, sampling method and mission duration.
Patrol and emergency deployment
Manufacturer-listed applications only; the brochure does not establish verified rescue outcomes, legal patrol permissions or a supplier-operated case.
Selection limits
Assess launch and recovery arrangements for the 1,300 kg lightship platform, fuel handling, site access, sea state and communications. Do not select on the 300 kg load alone or use the survival rating as the permitted operating sea state. Hull and mission constraints must match the actual project.
Documented vehicle equipment
Twin-hull platform and mission mounts
Reinforced aluminum pontoons, box-girder bridge, watertight compartments, dual moon pools and rails are described. Final drawings and delivery list require confirmation.
Propulsion and control
Electric propulsion with a diesel-generator range extender; navigation and obstacle avoidance are listed as standard, with handheld ground-station control.
Manufacturer hub and mission software
The brochure describes a marine-grade hub, energy scheduling, remote monitoring, task dispatch, encrypted data and edge analytics. Confirm which hardware, software and licenses are included.
Optional equipment and integration
Mission instruments and mounting
Scientific equipment is configurable using the moon pools, rails and deck units. Survey, sampling and monitoring instruments must be itemized in the quotation; no universal sensor package is implied.
Satellite and network configuration
BeiDou and LEO satellite communication are optional. Confirm modem, antennas, regional coverage, service subscription, radio permissions and network configuration.
Interfaces to confirm
Provide instrument model, dimensions, wet weight, center of gravity, mounting footprint, power budget, data interface and required time synchronization. Dual moon pools and rails support integration planning but are not evidence that every third-party instrument has been tested. Exact interfaces and mechanical drawings remain to be confirmed.
A brochure equipment reference is not a final delivery list. Specify each instrument, controller and accessory in the quotation.
